Thai families love to 'snack on the hoof' and it is this most enjoyable custom that has given rise to the magnificent selection of street food that is on offer at the evening "walking markets" that we discovered on three of the islands in the Gulf of Thailand.

I readily admit to not knowing what half of these delights are but they all smelled delicious!

Fascinating, Mac! I have to admit some of the shellfish on sale look like something out of the Jurassic era, but with a little Chili peppers and lime juice, I'm sure they're extremely good.

Did you and your lovely wife indulge in the feast at all?

Ah yes Karl, we partook a little here and there but in retrospect were not sufficiently adventurous. We shall return! (apologies to Gen MacArthur).
